Towering Clouds
ByDerek
A little break from the Europe photos… I caught this spectacular cloud yesterday on the drive home. The colors were even more fantastic 10 minutes earlier, but I had to wait to get to an open area to take the shot.
Establish confidence. Catalyst for the 21st century. Yadda yadda yadda.
ByDerek
Every time you hear how an event, building, or business is promised to “restore Buffalo’s confidence” or “propel Buffalo into the 21st century” keep in mind how long people have been saying that. New York Times July 4, 1993 “Our confidence is lacking and we’re a little unsure of ourselves,” said Dennis Gorski, the Eric…
On top of the Duomo
ByDerek
As I mentioned before – being on top of the Duomo is just amazing. Several of my favorite photographs from the trip come from this vista. We spent over an hour here, and if we had more time I would have spent longer. This is the type of stuff I love taking photos of. This…
Bring It Back To Life show @ Club Paradise
ByDerek
Amanda and I met up with John, Lauren, Chris, Allison, Suzy, Dave, and Sue and went to the Bring It Back To Life show Saturday night. Also spotted were Steven and RagingTaxpayer from SpeakupWNY.com. The show was great as always. The crowd size was a bit disappointing. We got to talk to Christina and Scott…
Buffalo | Derek | Preservation | Skyway
Are you ready for this? Hang on. Literally.
ByDerek
Kids, you can’t write comedy better than this. Tim Tielman has come up with a plan to turn the Skyway into a park. Here’s the image and story posted over on Buffalo Rising. Now, let’s think back to all the reasons that people bellow forth as to why the Skyway “needs” to come down: It’s…
Eckhardt Building on Buffalo Rising
ByDerek
Buffalo Rising posted an article on the Eckhardt Building today. Check out the slideshow – they’re all my photos. Not that they’re very good or artistic photos or anything, I just think it’s cool to have a slideshow up on BR. 😉
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
